This course covers the basics of embedded system organization, hardware-software codesign, system on chip technologies and real-time systems. It provides the advance knowledge required for embedded system development, fault-tolerant techniques applicable to embedded systems and real-time scheduling. The students will be able to grasp the main principles of hardware-software co-design. Embedded system co-specification, partitioning, co-simulation and integration are the main phases of hardware software codesign that are thoroughly studied in the course. A specification language (e.g. SystemC) will be employed to present a unified view of embedded system design. Hardware-software codesign tools will be introduced for various applications and case studies. State of the art embedded system-partitioning techniques will be presented. (Formerly ELE 718.)
